SIMON – STYLE DIRECTOR

Specialising in restyling hair, problematic hair types, advising hair style suitability for face shapes and cutting curly hair, Simon also enjoys keeping his finger on the pulse of the latest colouring techniques and is an L.A. weave expert. With 20 years of experience working and training with some of the best names and salons in the industry, it comes as no surprise that Simon has developed his own signature style of cutting and styling hair. Starting his career in his home town of Ballymena, he went on to work in Toni & Guy in Belfast and Dublin. In London, he trained at Vidal Sassoon’s and Soco Hair and his craft has taken him to L.A. and Europe. Winning a place on the Clynol prodigy team in 2003 took him to London and it was there he developed a passion for photographic work. He has been the lead stylist on editorial shoots with FHM magazine and Cosmopolitan. His work has been published in the Hairdressers Journal, every major UK hair publication, and his work has also graced the pages of Magazines in the US, Canada, Europe, Russia and China. The highlight of Simon’s career was when he became a finalist of the British Hairdressing Awards the first time he entered at the age of 25. He went on to enter another 5 times and was a finalist of the prestigious competition on every occasion. He has also been a finalist in the L’Oreal Colour trophy, Wella Trend Vision and has won almost every Irish Hairdressing competition. Simon is now committed to his loyal client base who he says inspires and motivates him to stay at the top of his game.
